Flagyl is a brand-name prescription antimicrobial used to treat bacterial infections of the heart, blood, nervous system, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, lungs, joints, bones, and skin. Extended-release metronidazole is commonly prescribed to treat bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted infections such as trichomoniasis.
As an antimicrobial, Flagyl cannot be used to treat viral infections. If Flagyl is being used to treat a sexually transmitted infection (like trichomoniasis), both sex partners should use the medication simultaneously. This helps reduce the risk of reinfection in either partner. Antimicrobials stop the growth of harmful microorganisms in the body, so simultaneous use in both partners of metronidazole will help prevent the infection from living on and being passed between partners.
Flagyl is supplied as an oral tablet or extended-release capsule. It contains the drug metronidazole, which is available in generic form. Flagyl is only available via prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.

ispershedWhat isFlagyl?Flagyl is an antimicrobial used to treat bacterial infections of the heart, blood, nervous system, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, lungs, joints, bones, and skin. Extended-release metronidazole is also commonly prescribed to treat trichomoniasis. Flagyl is only available via prescription.
ispersed into bodyFlagyl is supplied in a concentration of metronidazole known as a standard tablet. This concentration is designed to provide longer-lasting effectiveness and is available in various strengths and dosages. Flagyl is typically prescribed for treating bacterial infections while vaginal thrush is treated with an oral tablet. When used as part of a sexual assault, Flagyl can also be prescribed for purposes other than a bacterial infection.
How does Flagyl work?Flagyl works by interfering with the DNA of bacteria, which helps to kill them. When metronidazole is released in the vagina, it promotes the growth of bacteria by inhibiting their ability to replicate and spread the infection to other nearby cells. Flagyl does not directly kill bacteria but can affect the growth of other organisms, potentially leading to its effects.
How should Flagyl be taken?Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. To minimize the risk of taking too much Flagyl, it is recommended to take the medication at the same time each day. Flagyl should be taken with a full glass of water. Flagyl should not be taken with food or milk that contains any sugars or vitamins. Mix the two medications with a meal or snack, and then wait 30 to 60 minutes before taking both medications. The length and dosage of these medications may vary, so it is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What are the possible side effects of Flagyl?Flagyl can cause a number of side effects, including nausea, headaches, and dizziness. In rare cases, Flagyl can cause more serious side effects, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, laboratory abnormalities, dark urine, and unusual bleeding or rash. In some cases, symptoms ofFlagyl may include difficulty speaking, swallowing, swallowing difficulties, yellowing of the skin or eyes, swelling of the legs or ankles, and easy bruising or bleeding.
What conditions is Flagyl approved to treat?Flagyl is specifically approved as an antimicrobial to treat bacterial infections of the vagina, male or female genital organs, and the liver. It is only available through healthcare providers following a doctor's prescription.
